Webcast: Everything You Need to Know About Windows 7 AppLocker

Microsoft MVP Brien Posey and Bit9 to Discuss Pros and Cons of Microsoft AppLocker Application Whitelisting

WALTHAM, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/23/10 -- Bit9 Inc., the leader in Advanced Threat Protection, today announces that it will host a Webcast featuring Microsoft MVP Brien Posey speaking on "Everything You Need to Know about Windows 7 AppLocker" this Wednesday, August 25.

As organizations enthusiastically migrate to Windows 7 in search of new features and greater stability, many are reviewing whether to use AppLocker, Microsoft's embedded Application Whitelisting security solution. Application Whitelisting has become the answer to resolving the problems with traditional reactive approaches to endpoint security that have proven no match for today's targeted attacks. With many third party solutions available in the market, organizations are faced with having to choose which solution is right for their environment.

During this Webcast, Brien Posey will discuss why migrating to Windows 7 is the right time to reassess your endpoint security, and provide steps on how to:

  • Find and eliminate malware before and after migrating;
  • Ensure newly upgraded systems stay clean and secure;
  • Avoid catastrophic side effects and accidental lockdowns; and,
  • Maintain a tightly controlled baseline configuration.
